Concrete is the most widely used material in infrastructure construction, and recycling recycled aggregate from waste concrete to make concrete can reduce the consumption of natural resources and the environmental pollution caused by the disposal of waste concrete. The research status of both traditional and artificial intelligence design methods for recycled concrete mix is expounded, the representative methods used in the research are summarized, the characteristics and existing problems of the two methods are summarized, and it is proposed that the artificial intelligence design method has broad development potential and research prospects. At the same time, the design method of recycled concrete mix based on artificial intelligence is prospected, which can provide references for further improving and developing the design method of recycled concrete mix.
